Zhang Qian and others stood nearby, feeling very happy.
"What's the rush? How many children should I have? Are you coming together tonight?"
Long Chen said with a smile.
Bai Tingting immediately said: "I don't want it. The matchmaker is getting married. Forget about messing around with you in the past. The marriage must be presided over by the Ministry of Etiquette."
Bai Tingting also participated in the suppression of bandits in Qianjiang County, and she also participated in this operation.
"Okay, the matchmaker is getting married." ??
Long Chen smiled and helped pack things.
After Gongsun Linglong changed her clothes, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi asked Dugu Jiali to take the military talisman to the camp to order troops and leave the next day.
Everything is ready and the palace has made arrangements.
The next day, Gongsun Linglong pretended to be Long Chen, Di Luoxi, and Di Lingyi led the generals out of the east gate and headed for Qianjiang County with five thousand elite troops.
Outside the east gate.
An ordinary-looking man looked at the leaving team, putting his hands in his sleeves and watching silently.
"I heard that the pirates in Qianjiang County have become rampant again."
"Hmph, the regent once pacified it many years ago, so he will definitely be able to capture it this time."
"Not necessarily. I heard it was even more violent this time."
"Hey, last time we suppressed the bandits, the regent was just a eunuch in charge. What is he now?"
"It makes sense. We were able to eliminate them easily last time, let alone this time."
Watching the team go away, everyone slowly dispersed.
Qi Wenhai led a group of people, including those from the Ministry of Justice, Jingzhao Mansion, and the Ministry of Works, out of the east gate and headed south into the chaotic town.
The empress ordered him to plan the construction of houses outside the capital, and Qi Wenhai started to work on it.
The man next to Shou Shou slowly walked back into the city and entered a shop, which was filled with all kinds of goods from the Western Regions.
“The shopkeeper’s”
"Shopkeeper."
This ordinary-looking man is the shopkeeper of this shop. He usually sells goods from the Western Regions and also has his own caravan.
"Is the caravan ready for departure?"
The shopkeeper asked expressionlessly.
"Shopkeeper, it's ready. Brother Hu said we'll leave in three days."
The shopkeeper nodded: "Okay."
West Factory.
Long Chen was sitting in the secret room, and Feng He came in from outside.
"Sir, please inquire, that store will set off in three days, and the leader is a man named Brother Hu."
"Brother Hu has some martial arts skills, but not much. He has traveled four times on the trade routes in the Western Regions. This time he has carried goods for Sitong Store, which counts as his fifth time."
Feng He informed the inquiring news.
Feng He has already investigated Shen Wanjin's several strongholds in the capital.
The shopkeeper of Sitong Store was Shen Wanjin's subordinate and the assassin of Wanjinlou back then.
"Shen Wanjin should pass the message through these people. After we set off, you can eradicate all the strongholds left by Shen Wanjin in the capital. There is no need to send any more messages."
Feng He was a little worried: "Sir, after eradicating them, no caravan has passed by Shen Wanjin. Will he be suspicious?"
Long Chen said: "The desert is so dangerous. It's normal for the caravan to die on the way. Besides, it only takes a few months for me to handle it."
"Get rid of them all. There is no need to leave any tails. There is absolutely no chance that Shen Wanjin will come back."
"There are still some rogue bandits in the rivers and lakes, those half-ghosts who have not been eradicated. Xichang will continue to search. If you find them, tell Zhuang Ling'er and kill them all!"
Feng He nodded and asked with some regret: "Sir, are you really not going to take me with you?"
Long Chen said: "If I don't take you, you can just stay in the capital."
Feng He chuckled and said, "That's right, with two beautiful beauties, I feel very uncomfortable around you."
Long Chen rolled his eyes at Feng He.
"Get ready, let's set off together on the same day."
Long Chen stayed in the secret room and never returned to the palace.
Three days later.
Jujintang
backyard.
A hunchbacked groom drove the carriage in, and Qian Cheng cursed loudly: "Old Birdhead, what time is it, and you didn't come?"
This hunchbacked groom has a sharp mouth, a bit like a bird's beak, and is nicknamed "Old Bird Head".
Old Niaotou liked to drink and was always drunk, but he was familiar with the trade routes in the Western Regions, so Qian Cheng hired him.
"Don't be surprised, Hall Master Qian, I drank two more drinks last night."
The old bird head chuckled and didn't care that Qian Cheng scolded him.
No matter what the criticism, I have good skills, and Jujintang is waiting for him to lead the way.
The business routes in the Western Regions are highly profitable, and larger shops want to visit them, and Jujintang is no exception.
"They say that if you drink, you will get into trouble. You are not allowed to drink on the road."
Qian Cheng threw a box angrily and said, "Your son has been born. Congratulations to you for having a son at an old age."
The old bird picked up the box with a smile and said with a smile: "Thank you, Hall Master Qian."
Jujintang was not a good person in the past, but after the collapse of Wanjinlou, Jujintang was still very fair in doing business and never defaulted on its debts or defrauded customers.
With Long Chen standing behind as a credit guarantee, everyone trusts me.
Qian Cheng's temperament gradually changed, and he still had to curse others, and he still did a lot of good things for others.
Lao Niaotou had just given birth to a son, and finally had incense. Qian Cheng was busy and did not go to drink, so he gave him many gifts.
"Hurry up, we have to leave today."
Qian Cheng waved his hand, and Lao Niao Tou drove the carriage into the backyard.
The goods have been loaded, and a burly man from Jujintang is the leader of this trip. His name is Li Dajiao, because his feet are particularly big.
"Old Bird Head, congratulations."
Li Dajiao smiled heartily.
The old bird head smiled and said: "You already have five sons. Oh, I only gave birth to one, which is enough. I have to shut up and make more money."
Li Dajiao smiled and said: "How much money is it worth if you drink a few glasses of wine?"
"Everything is ready, it's time for us to set off."
Li Dajia arrived
Qian Cheng took the list from his room and said some more words. The caravan slowly left the Jujin Hall and walked towards the west gate.
Sitong Shop.
Brother Hu directed his men to pack up the carriage and shouted loudly: "On a good day and auspicious days, all directions will make you rich!"
With a crack of the whip and a snap, the caravan slowly walked towards the west gate.
A boy followed the convoy heading west, and the shopkeeper shouted at the door: "Go out and make a fortune, and come back safely."
There were also onlookers from the surrounding shops, and they all came forward to congratulate him.
"Shopkeeper Liu will definitely make a fortune this time."
"Good luck and good fortune, loads of gold and silver on the truck."
"Thank you everyone, thank you."
Shopkeeper Liu walked in with a smile. The others looked at it for a while and then dispersed.
They say good luck, but in their hearts they hope that something will happen and no one will come back.
Seeing your peers and neighbors making money is more uncomfortable than dying yourself.
This is human nature!
The carriage slowly arrived at the west gate. The guard saw the goods and immediately let them go.
Brother Hu walked in front, holding a scimitar in his hand, a bow on horseback, and a barrel of arrows.
We set off in the morning and walked into the evening, when it was getting dark.
There was no inn nearby, so Brother Hu ordered the carriages to be surrounded, people lit bonfires outside, and slept in the wild.
"Brother Hu, there is also a caravan over there."
Not far away, there was also a bonfire lit. Brother Hu got up and forgot to take a look when he saw the flag of the caravan saying: Jujintang.
"The caravan from Jujintang."
Brother Hu said this and felt much more at ease.
Jujintang has a royal background, and there are many good people in the caravan. It is safer to be close to the people in Jujintang.
"Oh, you guys from Jujintang, just follow them."
The boy stretched his neck and looked.
"Let's set out together tomorrow."
Brother Hu agreed with the young man's idea.
When running a business trip outside, safety comes first. Any method will do, so don't be embarrassed.
